Dumm Made His Presence Known in Northern Cambria's 28-0 Win
Starting off the list is Northern Cambria's Ty Dumm, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Dumm rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 115 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 74-yard run.
Dumm might have his next game, a road matchup with Conemaugh Township, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Dumm saw the Indians), he rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
